I like this Rube Goldberg type of puzzle game
I like this type of puzzle game. Each puzzle provides some objects that need to be placed in the environment in such a way that the requested goal is achieved. For example, placing some planks in the path of a barrel so it will roll in a certain direction when it hits the plank. The scene is static while you are placing the objects. Then, when the GO button is pressed, gravity takes over and you see what happens!
I have played the demo and then purchased the game. So far, there have been no imaginary objects or magical behavior. I really like that. (I can play around with stuff without going out in real life, finding or purchasing all the items, and then finding the space to set them up.) I like that someone else has thought of the scenarios, and all I have to do is figure out how to make it work out as desired. Since it is not timed, I get to take as long as I want to figure it out. I love it!
I realize that this type of game is not to everyone's style, but I am glad there are a few games out there that appeal to folks like me. I find it immensely enjoyable and relaxing.
As always, give the demo a try and see if you like it. (Even if you only do one scenario every now and then, it will at least be a diversion from other types of games.)
